Four, Common Issues and Solutions
| Issue |
Reason |
Solution |
| Imported books do not display covers or have metadata errors |
Embedded metadata in the file is not standard or missing. |
Select the book and open the Summary panel via Command+I, manually edit and add a cover image. |
| EPUB reading format is messy or font is abnormal |
EPUB uses special fonts or complex CSS layout. |
Try switching different layout modes (e.g., “Scroll” or “Page”) while reading. Or, in the “Reading” options of the preferences, specify a system-generic font for EPUBs (e.g., SimHei, Helvetica). |
| Annotations or bookmarks are lost |
1. The original file was moved or renamed. 2. The software database is abnormal. |
Ensure the original file location remains unchanged. If moved, delete the old entry in Clearview and re-import the file from the new location. Restart Clearview to recover annotations, which are typically automatically saved. |
| Search function cannot find certain books |
Books are in scanned PDF format (image form) or the index is not updated. |
For scanned PDFs, global search only matches file names and metadata. Ensure the index is updated via “File”->“Reindex Library”. |
| Two-page mode causes cover to occupy one page, resulting in page number misalignment |
This is a normal reading behavior, treating the cover as a separate page. |
View specific pages in “View” menu temporarily in single-page mode or use the actual page/total pages navigation in the bottom status bar. |
